Please commit to testing the <br />stockpiled topsoil for levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and <br />potassium, immediately prior to replacement, and to incorporation <br />of adequate fertilizer to bring the topsoil up to standardized <br />acceptable levels for this region. <br />The application did not include a proposed seed mix as required by <br />Rule 6.4.5(2)(d). Please provide a proposed seed mix and <br />application rate that will ensure stability of the reclaimed area. <br />Because the application does not include documentation that <br />provides reasonable assurance that the residential end land use <br />will be realized, the seed mix and reclamation plan should provide <br />for establishment of preferred grasses, (orbs, trees and shrubs so <br />that the site is adequately reclaimed even if the proposed end land <br />use is not realized. <br />Please commit to a seed mix that will include et least one legume <br />to aid in maintaining adequate nitrogen levels in the replaced <br />topsoil. The legume seed should be inoculated prior to <br />application. <br />The correspondence from the Soil Conservation Service states that <br />they provided a recommended seed mix. The application did not <br />include the SCS recommendations. Please submit their <br />recommendations to the Division. <br />How will the reclamation plan address the concerns stated by Rick <br />Sherman, Colorado Division of Wildlife, in his letter to Tuttle <br />Applegate dated November 30, 1994? <br />Please indicate the type and application rate of mulch to be used <br />in the hydromulching operation. <br />If you have questions or are in need of additional information, <br />please contact me at the Durango Field Office, 1474 Main Avenue, <br />Room 223, Durango, Colorado 81301, phone no.
